Study of Salidroside on Expression of Synaptophysin and Tau in Rats after Local Cerebral Ischemia-reperfusion Injury by Yanqing SU, Yingzheng WANG, Xuwen WANG, Baiying SONG, Yu LIN, Guizhu HONG

“…The rats were treated with drugs one more time at two hours before sacrifice. The mRNA expression of SYN and Tau in ischemic brain tissue were detected by RT-qPCR, the protein expression of phosphorylated Tau at threonine 231 (p-Tau231) was detected by immunohistochemical method, and the protein expression of SYN and p-Tau231 in ischemic brain tissue were detected by Western Blot.Results:Compared with the sham group, SYN expression in model group was decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05);SYN expression in salidroside group was increased compared with the model group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); p-Tau231 expression in model group was increased compared with the sham group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01). p-Tau231 expression in salidroside group was decreased compared with model group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).Conclusion:Salidroside can increase the injury-induced downregulation of SYN when the injury caused by MCAO, and decrease hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein in the ipsilateral thalamus of rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.…”

Expert Consensus on Molecular Tumor Boards in Taiwan: Joint Position Paper by the Taiwan Oncology Society and the Taiwan Society of Pathology by Ming-Huang Chen, Wan-Shan Li, Bin-Chi Liao, Chiao-En Wu, Chien-Feng Li, Chia-Hsun Hsieh, Feng-Che Kuan, Huey-En Tzeng, Jen-Fan Hang, Nai-Jung Chiang, Tse-Ching Chen, Tom Wei-Wu Chen, John Wen-Cheng Chang, Yao-Yu Hsieh, Yen-Lin Chen, Yi-Chen Yeh, Yi-Hsin Liang, Yu-Li Su, Chiung-Ru Lai, James Chih-Hsin Yang

“…Results: The joint statement proposes key recommendations: (1) MTB discussions encompass diverse molecular analyses including next-generation sequencing (NGS), RNA sequencing, whole-exon sequencing, and whole-genomic sequencing addressing relevant genomic changes, tumor mutation burden, microsatellite instability, and specific biomarkers for certain cancers. (2) MTB meetings should involve multidisciplinary participants who receive regular updates on NGS-related clinical trials. (3) Prioritize discussing cases with unique clinical needs, gene alterations lacking treatments, untreatable neoplasms, or oncogenes unresponsive to targeted therapies. (4) Base MTB discussions on comprehensive patient data, including genetics, pathology, timing of specimen collection, and NGS outcomes. (5) MTBs offer treatment recommendations: standard therapies, off-label use, clinical trials, genetic counseling, and multidisciplinary reviews. (6) MTB effectiveness can be gauged by member composition, case reviews, treatment suggestions, and patient outcomes. …”
